I currently live just off route one in the best community ever - Del Ray. Happy to answer any questions you have about the area. I'd agree that Foggy Bottom is "meh" in terms of city living, but it's not too far from Georgetown and there is a whole foods which is nice. Pentagon City has been built up a ton recently - constantly doing renovations at the mall, just put in a whole foods, etc. It's a busy area, but you are on top of the metro and shopping - so it just depends what you are looking for. Lots of awesome neighborhoods in DC, but you should expect to pay a ton for parking and rent in general depending on where you live. We've really enjoyed the old town/del ray area and have never felt like we are missing out on anything because the city is literally a stone's throw. We have our car and while we really only use it on the weekend, it's nice to have. Granted, we are walking distance to tons of restaurants and shops, so when the weather is nice, it's more fun to do that anyway! Good luck - you are getting into renting season with the summer, so you should have tons of options.

I'll be there!

Hi All, Just found out I was accepted today. I have a hard decision ahead of me. Fell in love with this program, but also considering one other. Has anyone heard about scholarships? Also, is there a facebook group?

I'm almost done with micro and then have anatomy left. So I'm still in process with pre-reqs. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting, hope to see you in the fall!

I heard that it comes in your official packet. Other folks earlier in this thread said that they also got a phone call and the person who called them mentioned that they had received a scholarship, but did not say how much on the phone.

I did too - I'm in and am so excited! Best of luck to everyone and hope to see you in the fall!
